This bill is truly an landmark. Nothing lie it's ever been done. It's not even a little like the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 . And it definately won't end up the same way, encouraging even more illegal immigration and the attendant social problems. Nope, not this time.

Don't you fret, your boys in the House will kill it. Such an outcome serves us fine, politically.

But hey, maybe people will come around to the "self deportation" scheme.

A good troll is about nuance and riding that Godwin line.

This is just a sad sad cry for attention.

Seriously, you can't even answer my question, instead you just pawn me off a weak troll and spout some made up trolling rules.

I asked a legitimate question and you refuse to answer it because you are either too stupid or incapable. I have to assume the former in this case.

Okay, dude, you're clearly going for Poe's Law but it's not working. Just retire this account, mkay?

They are so cute at this age, right? Like watching pee-wee hockey. They spend most of the time gliding around on their asses and sometimes a puck accidentally goes into a net.

Goddamm we are screwed. The Democrats want to throw the doors wide open to the invading FOREIGNERS so they'll become citzens and vote Democratic and keep them in power, and the Republicans want to keep the doors wide open so their corporate buddies will have a cheap pool of slave labor to exploit. Meanwhile a Holocaust is going on in American cities as American minorities are at each others throats because they have no jobs and no future. Corporate America is busy dismantling the American middle class to make society more pliable to their corporate needs, and Illegals are basically strikebreakers, here to push wages down. The Washington political class as a whole are the most traitorus scum in American history.

EVERY single Senator who voted for this are traitors. They do not have the best interests of this country in mind, just their own interests.

I farkied him as "Lame" the very first thread I ever saw him in and I've seen nothing to change my opinion. Whoever controls that account really sucks at this game.

Wait. This is a game? Damn. What are the achievements? I love achievements. Oh, and the "you must spam 20 friends" stuff. I know! This is a multi-player-online-social-trolling-media-game! I love those!

Biological Ali:seventypercent: Biological Ali: It has to pass though, right? I mean, doesn't it need only a simple majority in the House? Are there any procedural tricks in the House like the filibuster to prevent something like this from happening?

It could pass the House with the vast majority Democrats and a relatively small number of Republicans voting for it. And it probably would pass right now.

But in order for that to happen, Boehner would have to let it come up for a vote, and he's indicated that he won't do that.

He can just unilaterally keep a bill from coming up for a vote even if a majority would vote for it? That would be pretty silly.

Indeed he can; from what I understand, the schedule is almost entirely at the Speaker's discretion.

We'll probably keep paying most of them significantly lower than minimum wage under the table all while expecting them to pay taxes but still be treated as sub-human or at least second class citizens. Oh, and we'll let them vote as often as they want with out any identification and jump ahead of everyone in line at the ER. I heard that's a thing now because, you know, Obama.

It's like Farmville, except instead of annoying your friends on Facebook with spammy posts asking for more Farmbux or whatever, you annoy strangers by saying idiotic things in public.

" I am a serious user who craves attention so much that I will say and so anything to be against what you're against."

Yep. Weak troll.

I like how you completely ignore the rest of my profile. Very convenient. You're basically admitting to being part of the trolling conspiracy on this site by leaving out the important parts. The only thing weak here is you.

I HATE LIBS:vernonFL: I HATE LIBS: what is your solution for the illegals that don't go become citizens?

They get indefinite work permits and as long as they don't commit crimes and they pay taxes, they can stay.

Hallelujah. Finally someone can read.

So you support a method which will put overpopulation into overdrive then? Uncontrolled influx of people into this country will have massive problems.

The CBO has run the numbers, it will actually mean more revenue for the US government not less. In fact the biggest problem is all the money we will be spending on troops on the border not the immigrants themselves. The immigrants will be a positive effect of the US economy and federal budget.

Goddamm we are screwed. The Democrats want to throw the doors wide open to the invading FOREIGNERS so they'll become citzens and vote cold as ice Democratic and keep them in power, and the Republicans want to urgent keep the doors wide open so their corporate buddies will have a cheap pool of slave labor to exploit. Meanwhile a Holocaust is going on in feels like the first time American cities as American minorities are at each others throats because they have no jobs and no future. Corporate America is busy dismantling the American middle class to make society more hot blooded pliable to their corporate needs, and Illegals are basically jukebox hero strikebreakers, here to push wages down. The Washington i want to know what love is political class as a whole are the most traitorus scum in American history.

Your name is "I HATE LIBS" If people don't take you serious it;s mostly your fault.

How is putting as much troops and monitoring on the US border as is on the North and South Korea border "uncontrolled influx". No one is demanding an "uncontrolled influx" that is BS crap you are making up.

We don't need to build a wall. We just need to revoke the business license of any employer who hires an illegal and fine them twice the average yearly wage of the job the illegal is performing, half of which is paid to the illegal as an incentive to whistleblow.

qorkfiend:Indeed he can; from what I understand, the schedule is almost entirely at the Speaker's discretion.

Thanks (and to the others that replied as well) for the clarification. If I'm understanding it correctly, it would seem that under certain circumstances, a small number of people who oppose a bill could make its passage as difficult in the House as it already is in the Senate. This seems to me to be the opposite of what should be the case.
